I left it in place thinking it might help re-direct some airflow around the battery but it probably is pointless. I tried to get a CAI for this thing but even though it is essentially an overweight AWD lancer the engine bay is re-arranged enough that the CAI's are not cross compatible. I don't even think I can make something like a fender well intake work without a battery re-lcoate and I'm not ready for a project like that.
